Shen Tang cursed inwardly, truly vicious and despicable. This damn female protagonist keeps pushing the boundaries of her morals!
Soon, the system comforted, "Host, donât worry. In the past, she might have succeeded, but fortunately, you have fulfilled the original ownerâs wish. Now, your body is highly compatible with your soul, and she canât take over so easily. Once you fully transform your body, that Possession Card in her hand will be rendered useless!"
Shen Tang nodded with difficulty, enduring the immense pain, "... Hurry up and help me transform my body so that my soul completely merges with it!"
[Okay, Host.]
Upon receiving Shen Tangâs consent, the system wasted no time and quickly activated the [Body Transformation] function.
Shen Tang felt an intense burning sensation and a tearing, stretching feeling spreading throughout her body. This pain didnât act on her flesh and bones but targeted her very soul!
Fortunately, the pain was fleeting. After just half a minute, the systemâs cheerful voice sounded, [Congratulations, Host, your soul has perfectly fused with this body. You no longer need to worry about being possessed by outsiders!]
The stabbing pain in her mind vanished, and Shen Tangâs vision gradually returned. She cursed inwardly: Even though the damn female protagonist has been expelled from the Empire, sheâs still trying to scheme against me in the shadows. I must avenge this wrong!
"System, use the Rebound Talisman to send the cardâs power back to her!"
She really couldnât swallow this grievance.
The system cheerfully replied, [Got it, Host, letâs make her pay!]
Xiao Jin was about to rush Shen Tang to the hospital, but when he saw her color returning to normal and regaining consciousness, he hesitated and asked, "Tangtang? How do you feel? Should we go to the hospital for a check-up?"
Why did she suddenly faint? Could it be low blood sugar?
Lu Xiao, Shen Li, Jia Lan, and Xue Yinzhou also followed closely, relieved to see Shen Tang back to normal, but still anxious to find out what had happened.
Seeing the worried expressions of her Beast Husbands, Shen Tang felt a twinge of warmth in her heart, "Donât worry, Iâm fine. No need to fret."
She didnât intend to hide the truth from them, but the relationships between her, Shen Qingli, and the system were too complex, and the possession incident was far too fantastical to explain, so she simply said, "It was Shen Qingliâs doing!"
The Beast Husbands knew she harbored many secrets and didnât press her further, satisfied as long as they knew who was behind it.
The look on Jia Lan and the othersâ faces turned ugly.
What a shame they couldnât take care of that witch secretly in prison.
Xue Yinzhouâs eyes flashed with a cold fury, his hands clenched tightly at his sides, his knuckles white, filled with a murderous intent.
That female had hurt her time and again.
One day, he vowed to take her down with his own hands!
Shen Tang didnât notice the emotions of the Beast Husbands. Having just undergone the possession ordeal, she felt utterly exhausted, so she let Xiao Jin take her home to rest.
However, Xiao Jin and the others were still anxious and took her to the hospital for a check-up. After confirming there were no other issues with her body, they hurried back home.
...
Meanwhile, on the other side, at the rebel armyâs headquarters.
A bloodcurdling scream suddenly echoed from a room at the very top!
"Ah!"
Shen Qingli was tearing at her hair, writhing in agony on the bed before collapsing to the ground.
Her exquisite, beautiful face twisted in pain, and she suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, staining the pure white bedding crimson, shocking and glaring!
Who could have imagined just a moment ago, Shen Qingli activated the Possession Destiny Card, eagerly anticipating seizing that bitchâs body and claiming all that should have been hers!
Status! Wealth! The Beast Husband, all hers!
But unexpectedly, her possession plan backfired, rebounding on her, with the Possession Fate Cardâs effect threatening to obliterate her soul on the spot!
Zaxxis rushed in upon hearing the scream, holding the disheveled Shen Qingli in his arms, anxious beyond measure.
But the female in his arms had gone still!
His slender, pale fingers fell to her nostrils, trembling suddenly.
There wasnât any breath!
The child...
Zaxxis hadnât even had time to be overwhelmed by grief when he saw the woman in his arms move slightly, her dilated pupils suddenly transforming into vertical slits, a strange golden glow flashing in her eyes as she regained consciousness.
She rose from his arms, resurrected!
Zaxxisâs pupils quaked with shock, frozen in place.
Shen Qingliâs complexion was awful, deathly pale, having just experienced the feeling of a soulâs destruction, terrifying and chilling!
The next moment, when she saw in her mindâs eye the Spirit Tree withering, her face changed dramatically.
No, her S-level spiritual power, how could it be gone?!
"System, can you save my Spirit Tree?!"
The system spoke plainly, [Your Spirit Tree? Host, donât forget, this Spirit Tree never belonged to you. I helped you steal it from Shen Tang, and it couldnât connect to your body, only your soul. Now that your soul has been destroyed once, this transplanted Spirit Tree has naturally withered too.]
As it spoke, the system was also quite speechless. When she had the Spirit Tree, Shen Qingli spent her days obsessing over men, never thinking to learn how to use her spiritual power.
Now that the Spirit Tree is gone, she suddenly wants to save it. What was she doing before?
Shen Qingli was on the verge of collapse. She had nothing left, and the S-level spiritual power was her greatest reliance!
This Spirit Tree originally didnât belong to Shen Qingli. She couldnât directly harness the spiritual power and had to learn in the future. But before, Shen Qingli was a noble and beautiful princess, and anything she wanted done, there would be someone eager to do it for her, so she never bothered to cultivate spiritual power.
But now, she wants to rely on spiritual power to return to the peak, yet the Spirit Tree is destroyed!
This is what you call, trying to steal a chicken only to end up losing the rice used to lure it!
Shen Qingli was filled with resentment. That bitch not only cost her a life but also destroyed her Spirit Tree. She must exact revenge for todayâs feud!
Shen Qingli took out an item from her space, handing it to Zaxxis, whispering instructions.
"... You really want to do this?" Even the insidious and treacherous Zaxxis felt a pang of shock. The Night Glow Empire was, after all, the place that gave her birth and raised her. This little female was indeed ruthless!
Shen Qingli sneered, "Anyway, that position doesnât belong to me. If I canât have it, why not destroy it completely?"
Zaxxis didnât care about the fate of the Night Glow Empire. To him, it was a trivial matter. Even if he considered the child, he wouldnât refuse Shen Qingli over such a minor issue.
The male beast had the instinct of bloodline inheritance, and Zaxxis was most concerned about the child in Shen Qingliâs belly.
If sheâs unhappy, she could be harsh to the child too.
As long as the child is born smoothly, even if she wants the stars in the sky, he would fetch them for her. But, if she ends up losing the child he eagerly anticipates, sheâd better be ready to face his terrifying wrath!
"Alright, stay here and take good care of yourself. Iâll help you with this." Since coming back, Zaxxisâs attitude towards Shen Qingli was disgustingly gentle, almost subservient.
Shen Qingli felt no emotion, her expression turning even paler, an inner struggle evident.
When the child is born, and Zaxxis finds out itâs not his, who knows what crazy things heâll do out of humiliation and rage?
But seeing his hopeful and excited expression, she dared not reveal the truth to him!
